First step - Get the "normal" bows off Juka
Second step - reforge the bow
Third step (optional) - finish off the bow with imbuing
Fourth step - use gears on bow (i.e. click bow, then target gears)
Fifth step (optional) - Enhance with chosen wood (preferably with the special tool)

This should prove to be interesting, even if the result is just a "normal" bow.

Corwin: gears are just that - gears. buyable from tinker npcs or craftable by a tinker; the non-special version of the item whose magical version are gears for the music box (in fact, can be found as loot on things that carry the original, non-SA, music gears, to tease you). Look sorta like that thing in the "stratics" banner above.

Oh, the Juka bows are still around? I love'em ... have to go hunting for them later.

Yes. Every juka lord has one 'juka bow' in his loot. Only that they have no special label nowadays. They look like normal plain bows until you try to equip one. After its modifikation with gears by a gm bowyer, they get a random slayer, a little boost to their durability and change their colour into that of a juka bow. They have an imbuing weight capacity of 450 + the random slayer after the modifikation. (Last time, I ve heard of, you could imbue one slayer onto it and get a second one by modificating. Not shure if that got changed ... never had the time/resources/need to test that out.)

If my memory is correct, applying the gears used to double the durability, if the durability was 35 it turned to 70 after applying the gears. So try to POF it to 125 and that should get you to the 255. I might try this if I get time.
